worked with the pulverizer and harrow
until the soil is as fine as that intended
for a garden. No clods OF Jumps should
be allowed on any field. One or two
harrowings will not always suffice. but
the soil should be narrowed in every
direction and until thoroughly fine.
The labor so bestowed will be repaid in
the crop grown upon the field.
We frequently hear the remark, 81
have had better crop of corn, planted
after June 1st, than from that planted
earlier" /" No doubt late planting is
often successful. The ground is in the
best condition, the season warm enough
for very rapid growth (of both corn
and weeds), and if an earlymatming
variety has been planted. the crop is
usually profitable one. These early
varieties have small stalks, and may be
planted closer. The success of the crop
will largely depend upon the wedding
OF this month; start the cultivator or
other weeder, just before weeds are
seen. Many do the earlier weddings
with harrow, which does not injure
the corn while it is but a few inches high.
FRUIT TREES.
1t is poor policy to plant fruit trees
and leave them to shift for themselves
until "pruning time" comes next
spring. A little timely care during
the summer, will often greatly benefit
the trees. If heavy winds have thrown
some trees out of perpendicular. right
them, and hold in place, if need he,
with stakes. All newly planted trees
should be mulched, otherwise the dry
weather will injure their roots. What
ever will cover the surface of the soil,
will answer. Not only should mulch
be applied to newly planted trees, but
shrubs and vines in the fruit garden
will also be benefited.
COOKERY.
Egg cakes Chop hard boiled eggs
to a mince, mix with mashed potatoes,
and fry in small cakes to crisp brown.
Imitation apple pie-Four teacupfuls
of water, six soda crackers, two cups of
sugar, juice OF two lemons and rind
of one.
New Potatoes-Put into stewpan
a piece of butter rolled in flour, gill
of cream, pepper, salt, little nutmeg,
also the juice of half a lemon; stir these
over the fire until boiling; then add sli-
ces of freshly boiled new potatoes, and
after warming them up in the above
sauce, serve very hot.
Lion of Veal-this is best larded.
Have every joint thoroughly cut, and
between each one lay slice of pork.
Have ready a hot creased pan. Lay
the joint in it, roast fine brown so
that the upper sides of tie pork will be
crisp,and season with pepper; the pork
will make it sufficiently salt. Serve
with mushroom sauce.
Spread Ea gle-Prepare young, ten
der chickens for cooking. Cut off the
necks and legs and split them right
down through lengthwise from breast
to back, only leading just enough to
hold the two sides together Spread
them out on board, dry the inside
with cloth, spread them over with
cold butter. season plentifully with
pepper salt and a little cayenne, anG
broil them quickly over clear fire till
done, but not so much done as to be at
all dried up. Squeezea drop of lemon-
juice over and send to to table very hot
Irish Stew-Slice some good potatoes
rather thickly and put layer of them
in stewpan; next slice down some
onions, and, if liked, turnips. Make
layer of these, then layer of mutton
Casually the best end of the neck cut IN
to outlets, though for family use the
scrag is also used) rather highly seasol.-
ed; fill the pan in this way, finishing
up with a layer of potatoe; pour in
about good tumblerful of cold water,
and when it boils add the salt After
this it should only stew mot boiDuntil
the potatoes are done to regular
mash. a good-sized dish generally
takes from two to two and a half hours
to cook properly. 1t must be served
very hot
